cLEvEL6ND INVITED TO CHICAGO.

President.
CHICAGO, July 20.-1'he invitation to
President Cleveland was not given en-
tirely because Chicago felt that che chief
executive of the nation ought to have a
brief s%ojonrn in the national summer re-
sort as all %antidote for tie cares of Office,
cut 1t came about in this way: 1t seems
pretty certain that President Cleveland
Will accept the Invitation or st. Louis to
visit That city sometime during the fall.
This fact set some prominent Chicagoals
TO thinking upon the subject, and the re-
suit was that an Informal and strictly
private meeting was held Saturday after
noon to talk the matter over. Dewitt G..
Creeier was there; Sc were Melville. w.
Fuller, John B. Drake. Fl. j.. MacFar-
land, OF the Calumet club; Lyman j.
Sage, A. NJ. Pence, chairman OF the com
;aittee OF political action of the Union
League club; A. C. Bartlett, of the Com
mercial club; s.. S. Gregory, Gen. w. G.
Newherrst. of the I%roqpois club. A. A.
Sprague, Gen. Fitz.Simons, Abbott
Adams, of the Union club, and others,
about fifteen in all. The general line of
argument was to the effect THAR 1t seemed
pretty certain that President Cleveland
would accept st. Louis invitation.
Coming West, rs he will, for the first
time, 1t was clearly the duty of the peo-
Pile here as loyal citizens to see chat he
had a3chance to form the proper impress
sion of this, to him, undiscovered coun-
try. Omaha, Kansas City, st. Paul or
Minneapolis might Go for q first impress
sion, but nothing but Chicago could
stave off the nightmare after a visit in
st. Louis. So it was evidently s'nieet,
right, and our bounden duty TO have
the president here; it only remained to
determine about the invitation. 1t was,
therefore, determined that the best way
was to have the city give the invitation,
and let the city, the clubs, and the citi.
zens generally do the entertaining. 1t
was to be talked over with the clubmen
SO that they should become Interested;
the solid business and professional men
were to be seen as to what they had to
say about it: Mayor Roche was to be
told OF the scheme, and if he approved
the council was to pass a resolution Mon.
day night extending the president an in
yitation, all of which was done.
